摘要： The conventional TiO2 photoelectrode for water splitting was integrated with ordered mesoporous carbon material (CMK-3) and Au metal nanoparticles (NPs) to improve the photocatalytic efficiency under visible light irradiation. Compared to TiO2, Au/TiO2-CMK-3 photoelectrode demonstrated over two orders of magnitude enhancement of photocurrent under 532 nm laser irradiation due to the generation of hot electron and near field from Au NPs. Furthermore, the improvement of free carrier transport and additional long-wavelength absorption can be achieved by exploiting the superior conductivity and blackbody-like property of CMK-3. This proposed enhancement mechanism was proved by the measurements of photoluminescence emission spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. 出版者： Melville: American Institute of Physics 出版日期： 2015-08-17 出處： Applied physics letters, 2015-08, Vol.107 (7) 資源來源： AIP Journals (American Institute of Physics) 版權： 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. 識別號： ISSN: 0003-6951 識別號： EISSN: 1077-3118 識別號： DOI: 10.1063/1.4928980
